Like Giselle, Ryan's 13-year-old sister Danni has created guidelines for her own spending. Calling herself "a squirrel," Danni won't touch the $1,700 she has earned baby-sitting and pet-sitting until she's crazy about something...like the $140 Doc Martens she wanted last Christmas. They were cool, but Danni felt they cost too much. Lucky for her, her mother and grandmother split the cost...
Pleasantville charms, and on the visual level, it dazzles. Half comedy, half fable, it flips the premise of The Truman Show, presenting a TV world made up of potential Trumans who need an outsider to help transform the fake into reality. Brother and sister are transported into the 50s television show "Pleasantville." David tries to keep the show going as scripted while his sister Jennifer immediately rebels. As the semi-robotic citizens gradually come to life, splashes of color begin to permeate the black-and-white world. The process is best represented in the paintings of Jeff Daniels' inarticulate soda...
...abnormal and nightmarish environment in which Ray has grown up, it is perhaps almost the logical thing to do to fall in love with one's younger sister, although Ray is aware of how the outside world sees this relationship: "The more I'm seeing this through someone else's eyes, the dirtier it seems."

I too am glad that I left home, simply because I have grown to appreciate the closeness of my family. GHIA E. GODFREE...
Start your weekend right by hanging out with a little, elderly British nun. Sister Wendy Beckett (a.k.a. Sister Wendy), has become something of a cult figure because of her discussions of artwork on BBC and PBS. Although she does all of her work by examining reproductions and postcards in her cottage in England, Sister Wendy's analysis is quite thorough. Today she will be at the Isabella Stewart Gardener Museum to talk about "The Ideal Museum." 6:30 p.m. 280 The Fenway, Boston, 278-5102. Tickets $7 general, $5 member and seniors, free for students...
